How to Attract Abundance and Prosperity – 10 Top Motivational Quotes About Truth

What is your perception of truth? One of the interesting things about truth when you really examine it is that it’s all a matter of perspective. The concept of truth is especially interesting in light of the fact that most people tend to take to their perception of truth to be absolute.

Yet it’s your perception of truth that determines what you believe, and it’s your belief that determines the level of action you take towards your dreams of abundance and prosperity.

If you look up the definition of “truth” in the dictionary, here is what you will find:

1. the true or actual state of a matter: He tried to find out the truth
2. conformity with fact or reality; verity: the truth of a statement
3. a verified or indisputable fact, proposition, principle, or the like

We’re taught that the “truth is out there” and we’re inundated with messages that promote a particular truth, but my truth and your truth may be very different. So who’s is the correct truth?

Conventional wisdom at one time was that the Earth was flat. Everyone agreed that this was the truth. When Columbus set out to finance his exploration of an alternative route to the Far East, he was laughed at and ridiculed. All because he saw a different truth.

This of course ties in directly with your beliefs. Often in life, in order to make your dreams come true, you must follow your own belief in your own truth. You may not find many others who agree with your view of the world. At the same time, you must guard against holding to your own truth as absolute. Is it starting to feel a little fuzzy?

In the spirit of finding the truth, here are 10 top quotes about the nature of truth:
